Specialising in sports journalism, Gabriel has produced a number of award-winning feature documentaries on some of the biggest sports stars of this generation and reported live for sport’s most-watched global events. Sharing insights from his extensive career, as an after-dinner speaker, Gabriel engages audiences with exclusive anecdotes from his time working with exclusive celebrities. Additionally, Gabriel is often sought after as an event host and facilitator thanks to his professional experience in leading structured programmes and keeping to a strict schedule.
Most regularly seen amidst the action at the most highly anticipated events in the sports calendar, throughout his vast career Gabriel has provided live news from the likes of the World Cup, Boat Races and World Championship Boxing, for ITV sport.
